Golden Torch Award

LHSAA member schools can submit the names of former student-athletes who have attended college and meet the criteria set forth for the Golden Torch Award.

One nomination is allowed per school and the deadline for submitting nominations is Friday November 4, 2011.

The winner will be notified at the end of November and the award will be presented on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at the LHSAA’s Annual Convention Coca-Cola Principals’ Luncheon.
